maitakeHmm. I added the kx repos and was going to try jack202:35
maitakeBut there isn't a jack2 package?02:35
maitakeI see a jackd2 though. Heh02:37

audioterminalHi how can I force sound card 2 to be device 0?   http://pastebin.com/c457vXdd05:08
holsteini will just thin the options out, personally05:09
holsteinlike the SB live. i would just ditch it, and that would help me keep track of the other, internal one05:09
holsteinif, that was the "best" card, then, i would disable the other in the bios..05:10
audioterminalThe internal card is already disabled so it does not show up05:11
audioterminalThe current device 0 is the sound on my video card05:11
holsteinotherwise, something like this will probably get you going http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards05:11
LAbotTitle: alsa.opensrc.org (at alsa.opensrc.org)05:11
audioterminalOk thank you I wrote an /etc/asound.cof but it did not work05:13
holsteinit should05:13
audioterminalsorry /etc/asound.conf is what i meant05:13
holsteinyou can always share it, here, or, in #opensourcemusicians or, a general linux channel, or alsa channel, and see more about specifics05:14
holsteinwhats the goal?05:14
holsteinis it just for starting jack, consitently?05:14
audioterminalI just thought it would give some priority to that card over the soundcard audio.05:16
audioterminalover the video card audio05:16
holsteinno05:17
holsteinits just a label05:17
audioterminalThis is what i typed on the asound.conf file05:17
audioterminaldefaults.pcm.card 205:17
audioterminaldefaults.ctl.card 205:17
holsteinlabeling wont give the device any priority, so, you can disgreard, and dont bother with changing the label05:18
holsteinits literally a label, thats all05:18
audioterminalok thank you I will just forget about that05:20

audioterminalHi what midi sequencer from the kxstudio repositories is recomended for music composition?08:10
audioterminalI am going to learn from cero. I have some previous experience with cakewalk sonar08:11
audioterminalI was editing with ardour but midi part still has some bugs I keep losing days of work due to that08:12
audioterminalSi I was thinking Rosegarden, MusE or whatever you think would be a good choice for what I am planning to do. Make midi Covers of existing hits or composing some music.08:14
audioterminalI will be using a midi keyboard. Having a form of step secuencer would be a good plus but not realy necesary because I do not work with electronic music much.08:16
audioterminalIt would be great if I can import an audio file just like in ardour and match the tempo to use it as reference to imitate every instrument part.08:17
audioterminalI'll be on line for a while hopefully someone can recomend something available on kxstudio08:18
maitakeHmm I'm not familiar with the free ones but on a budget I'd just rig Reaper up in wine w/ low latency kernel08:19
maitakeIt excels with midi08:20
maitakeI think it only costs 60 dollars USD08:20
maitakePersonally I use bitwig studio. It isn't free either, and much more expensive08:20
maitakeMaybe try one of the trackers for midi sequencing?08:21
audioterminalI am going for a free one because what I will do is not commercial and I want to test what is available for free out there. Otherwise I would just stick to Sonar because I know my way around there.08:24
maitakeOh I see08:26
maitakeSorry08:26
audioterminalno problem maitake08:26

maitake2hmm, i'm having a difficult time getting my axiom 49 midi keyboard routed16:03
maitake2bitwig just isn't detecting it some reason16:03
maitake2alsa midi bridge is active16:03
maitake2here's what i'm looking at (without any connections): http://i.imgur.com/JTW3JD0.jpg16:04
maitake2tried connecting all sorts of variations there but still no notes going into bitwig16:04
maitake2bitwig detects 3 midi inputs but selecting any of them isn't  helping either16:05
spectromasmaitake2: did you try adding it manually in bitwig?16:11
maitake2yes i did16:13
maitake2added a midi keyboard device. it gives me Axiom 49 MIDI 1, 2, and 316:13
spectromashmm I can't get my nanokey to work in it either but maybe I'm doing something wrong16:13
maitake2i feel like i've tried every variation of connection16:14
maitake2and none of them send midi to bitwig16:14
maitake2this is strange because alsa alone works fine, i've used it before16:14
maitake2i activated "Show ALSA Midi", the experimental feature and tried routing it there16:14
maitake2didn't work either16:14
maitake2argh lol16:18
maitake2super frustrating. i'm so close to having the ultimate workstation haha16:18
maitake2brb, grabbing a shower16:19
spectromasmaitake2: I don't know, seems really weird16:19
maitake2yeah16:20
maitake2i tried making the connections with qjackctrl as well16:20
maitake2still nothing16:20
maitake2enabled and disabled the alsa midi bridge, neither configuration works either16:20
maitake2maybe i'm misunderstanding the purpose of the midi passthrough ports?16:22
maitake2not sure what they do16:22

maitake2huh, that's weird16:26
maitake2i know alsa can work just fine because it certainly did before16:26

maitake2hi falktx_16:26
falktx_hi16:27
maitake2sorry to be one of  your more annoying users but now that all my audio routing with kxstudio works perfect i'm having a bit of midi issues16:28
maitake2was just discussing this with spectromas a second ago: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=yNzzGghY16:28
spectromaswhat the hell16:31
spectromasmaitake2: I have it working, such a strange solution though16:31
maitake2what did you try?16:32
spectromashttp://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=12748 basically 'modprobe snd_virmidi' and then connect your keyboard to Virtual Raw Midi and then choose that the bitwig16:32
LAbotTitle: LinuxMusicians View topic - virtual ALSA midi device for BITWIG studio? (at linuxmusicians.com)16:32
maitake2haha16:32
maitake2so a secondary interface?16:32
spectromascan't be the right way though16:32
maitake2that works for me i guess.. lemme try it16:33
maitake2it's just midi data.. if i can get the damn thing there i don't mind what it takes :)16:33
maitake2catia is routing my audio applications 100% perfect now16:33
maitake2darn midi16:33
maitake2lol16:33
spectromassurely bitwig can't be expecting their users to be probing kernel modules16:34
maitake2whoa holy crap. catia just exploded with inputs and outputs16:35
maitake2spectromas: can you screencap your routing real quick?16:35
maitake2spectromas: that does seem extreme, but perhaps you're right and this is just a simple bug of some sort16:35
spectromasmaitake2: http://i.imgur.com/Jkifilx.png16:37
spectromasthis is ridiculous16:37
maitake2haha yes16:39
maitake2okay it works for me. thank you so much16:39
maitake2though yeah this is crazy16:39
maitake2bitwig is reading like 40 ports16:40
maitake2strangely only 4 show up in catia/qjackctl16:40
maitake2the 3-0 through 3-416:40
falktx_maitake2: afaik bitwig won't show hw devices if a2jmidid is running16:40
falktx_you might need to disable the alsa-midi bridge before running bitwig16:41
falktx_maitake2: have you tried that?16:41
falktx_spectromas: why are you using vir-midi instead of the midi-through ports?16:42
spectromasfalktx_: I don't know what's going on, I just did modprobe snd_virmidi as that thread suggested16:43
falktx_spectromas: kxstudio should have 16 midi through ports by default16:43
spectromasI just use cadence. How is that enabled?16:45
maitake2hmm confused about the through ports and how to route things i guess16:45
falktx_spectromas: I think you might have disabled the midi through ports manually because of wine16:46
spectromasfalktx_: I don't know, I don't remember doing that, how it is it disabled manually?16:47
falktx_some file in /etc/16:48
spectromasfalktx_: /etc/modprobe.d/snd-seq-dummy_16.conf ? could you cat that? is it just: options snd-seq-dummy ports=16 ?16:54
falktx_that is correct16:54
spectromasok thanks16:55
maitake2 i'll have to experiment more after work. got caught up playing in bitwig again haha17:06
maitake2for now i'm 100% okay with just probing the kernel17:07
maitake2i'll venture back into the dark side after work and try and find a solution. maybe should write up a report to get online somewhere to help others17:07
maitake2kxstudio is amazing falktx_17:08
falktx_;)17:08
maitake2had a lot of fun last night piping youtube videos into carla rack plugins! just beautiful audio mangling and routing fun. maybe the days of "linux sucks for audio" are dead17:08
falktx_now if someone could do something about the heat17:08
falktx_laptop is 55º while idle with a lower thing with fans on17:10

maitakeAre there concerns about using the virtual midi probe? Is that a security problem or a performance problem?19:12
maitakeJust curious because I'm still a Linux amateur pretty much19:12
spectromasmaitake: I haven't heard anything wrong with it, it's just quite unusual19:15
spectromasI haven't come across anything needing it before19:15
maitakeOh19:18
maitakeOkay cool19:18
maitakeIt works perfectly fine so I'm just going to roll with it19:18
maitakeKinda cool having so many in/out ports too19:18
maitakeCould get creative with it19:18
spectromasyeah it seems it's the official bitwig way so should be fine19:18
maitakeOfficial? Weird lol19:22
spectromasmaitake: official as in they posted it here - http://answers.bitwig.com/questions/1218/how-do-i-get-midi-inout-of-bws-on-linux19:23
LAbotTitle: Bitwig | Answers (at answers.bitwig.com)19:23
maitakeInteresting19:25
maitakeWell at least it's flexible19:25
maitakeYou enjoying Bitwig spectromas? What do you think about it?19:41
spectromasmaitake: I haven't really dug in to it too much, just trying the demo at the moment. It's definitely getting there19:44
spectromasit's too expensive for me but I do love it I have to admit19:44
maitakeOh I see19:50
maitakeYeah it grew on me quickly. I used ableton live for years but tried bitwig for a week and bought it immediately then deleted live19:51
maitakeLol19:51
maitakeIt just seems to do things the m right. Whole workflow feels very well thought out19:52
spectromasmaitake: yeah there was a gap in between using ableton in windows, switching to linux, and bitwig being released19:53
maitakeHaha19:53
spectromasI was a little lost trying to find the right thing and I found renoise19:53
spectromasit's not perfect for everything but I love it19:53
maitakeWanted to get away from Windows too huh¿19:54
maitakeYes renoise is great software too19:54
maitakeRenoise to me feels like bitwig's tracker based brother19:54
spectromashaha oh yeah, I realised there wasn't much holding me back when I found I could run ableton in wine, but that wasn't very good and didn't last long but by that stage I was in love with linux and determined to stay with it19:54
maitakeCool19:55
maitakeGood choice19:55
spectromasyeah it's just so powerful, I learn more about it every day and it constantly blows my mind what you can do with it19:55
maitakeHaha19:55
spectromasthat said, bitwig is very impressive19:55
maitakeI agree19:55
maitakeBeen hard to convince my friend's to try bitwig19:56
flexus259€, what?19:56
maitakeHuh?19:56
flexusok, it seems to be professional19:56
maitakeOh19:57
maitakeBelieve me that price is nothing19:57
flexusdidnt know of a linux software that pricey19:57
maitakeIt's pretty damn incredible for that price19:58
maitakeAnd still just a fraction the cost of Live 919:58
flexusis there a plugin possibility?19:58
maitakeBitwig plugin?19:58
flexuspropritary you mean19:59
maitakeYeah it's proprietary19:59
maitakeBut you could route audio and midi out of it into other software I guess20:00
maitakeIf that's what you were asking20:00
flexusextensions, written by others on an open api20:02
maitakeBut I paid $300 USD for it last year and I'm pretty certain it's one of the best 300s I've ever spent. I obsess over making stuff in bitwig. Very fun20:03
maitakeHmm no bitwig isn't extendible like that? It had20:03
spectromasflexus: you can load vsts20:03
maitakeIt has a JavaScript api for programming hardware controllers20:03
maitakeAh yes, and supports vsts20:04
maitakeI've managed to load Kxstudio plugins into it too using kxstudio carla rack20:04
flexusmaybe i'll try the demo and give you some echo20:06
maitakeCool20:06
flexuspositive or negative :o)20:06
maitakeFans20:07
maitakeOops20:07
maitakeHaha*20:07
maitakeYeah your mileage may vary. I absolutely love it. Favorite daw I've ever used20:07
maitakeThey have huge plans for it too. Bitwig v2 will be a fully modular DAW like maxmsp or pure data20:08
maitakeAlso they're working on network sync so 2 people can collaborate on the same song at the same time20:09
flexusmight be opus codec...20:11
maitakeOpus codec?20:12
maitakeHaha20:12
maitakeYou must be european ;)20:12
flexusthere was once an experiment on teaming up musicians over it20:14
flexusdont ask me how it was called and if its alive20:15
flexusanyways have fun with the software. maybe i'll check it out. new stuff is always good20:16
maitakeOh I see20:17
maitakeCool20:17
maitakeYeah I'm surprised not much has been explored with that20:17
maitakeThere is a DAW called "ohm studio" that does it but I read it's not a very nice daw20:18
